I am wondering, whether v3 should consist basically only of patches 2 and 3, i. e. the minimal approach, or if you would take all of them?
If you prefer the minimal version, I would make another patch set out of the other patches. But as there seems to be no official maintainer for list related functionality, I would appreciate some hints who I should put on the TO/CC list.
